CHARLES S. BOURNE, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND WILLIAM E. UDELL, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVED LAMP-HEATING AND SHAVING APPARATUS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 44,252, dated September 13, 1864.

.To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, CHARLES S. BOURNE, of Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Shaving and Heating Apparatus; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enablethose skilled in the or wherever it can be conveniently employed.

A is the baseplate B, a central post, and C C' are cup-shaped cylinders rising from the base A, nearly as high as the post B.

The above parts are intended to be all made or cast in one piece of metal or other material, although, if preferable, they may be made sep` arately and fastened together by any suitable means.

The cylinders C C are intended to constitute holders or receptacles to receive and hold 'vessels of different kinds. In one of them,

for example, I place a lamp, D, and in the other a mug, bowl, or soap-dish, E, as shown.

Upon the top of .the post B, I attach, by screw or other fastening, an ornamental supportingscroll, F, and at the top of the scrol, l

upon one side, or at any other convenient place, I fasten, by means of a pivot, G. a:

swinging ring, H, which is intended to receive a heating vessel, I, as shown. This vessel may have a supporting-ange, J, at or near its center to prevent it from dropping too far through the ring. The vessel I may also he provided with a faucet for the convenient drawing oft' of its contents. When the vessel I is inserted in the ring H, the vessel may be readily swung or suspended over the flame of the lamp, so that its contents will be heated, and afterward may be pushed aside so that the flame cannot reach the bottom of the vessel.

This device may be used as a night-lamp, or for warming water for shaving, and for other useful purposes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent as an improved article ot' manufacture- A shaving and heating apparatus made substantially as herein shown and described.
